30,000 unreal. I read William T. Shermans memoirs a few years ago, and besides calling Confederates “Democrats” which I’m sure blacks would love to hear about today, he also described battles that are hard to imagine, like the Union line rushing the Confeds and saying that they fell like ocean waves on shore, just unbelievable slaughter and bravery.

The number of bodies of Confederate and Union soldiers was so great that the large, open field between tree lines upon which much of the battle was fought was completely covered by the dead. One could tread from the lower to upper portion of the field without one’s feet touching the ground.
